Summary
The mosaic arrangement of retinal cones in the eye of the African cichlid fish,Haplochromis burtoni, is the same in both light and dark adapted states. This is in contrast to Kunz' claim2 that the retinal mosaic pattern changes from a square to a row type during dark adaptation, in the guppy (Poecelia reticulata). Kunz' histological procedure may account for this difference in results.
